possible interference with air intake?

Shawn,
Not sure what your plans are for hood attachment (hinge vs. pins). Its hard to tell for sure from your pics, but if you plan on installing the FFR hinges, you may have interference issues. See attached pic for my test fitting of the hinge. Also, I think the gas strut lays down beside the top 3/4" tube when the hood is closed, which looks like it would also interfere with your intake. Have you laid up the radiator expansion tank against the 3/4" front top tube to ensure no interference with the filter?

Again, can't tell for sure from your pics, this is just a heads up for you to think about it to determine whether you need to rotate/shift location of your filter.
